Retired U.S. Air Force serviceman who later said he had worked as a nuclear-weapons custodian and had been briefed on unidentified craft in connection with U.S. nuclear assets. He became known in disclosure circles for interviews linking UFO reports with Cold War weapons security.
Ross Dedrickson was a retired U.S. Air Force serviceman who later presented himself publicly as a former nuclear-weapons custodian and security specialist. In interviews recorded late in life, he said he had received information connecting unidentified craft with nuclear weapons storage, transport, and attempted launch scenarios. Those statements were made outside official public documentation and are part of the later insider literature rather than confirmed government findings. Dedrickson is mainly remembered in UAP circles for linking the subject to Cold War nuclear deterrence, weapons custody, and the recurring claim that unidentified craft showed a sustained interest in strategic systems.
